IDAHO FALLS -- A 20-year-old has been sentenced for two cases in which he bought trucks, ATVs, and more with checks - and no money in his bank account.

Paul Yantis was sentenced in Bonneville County on Monday by District Judge Dane Watkins Jr. to a minimum of two and a half years and a maximum of six years in prison. He will also be required to pay restitution to the victims in the case.
